Turn off computer each day?

[Jordan]

Good question. Here's an issue nobody has mentioned:
what about shutting down for the purpose of resetting the
memory? Does it make a difference?

Since I installed Windows 2000 during the first week after release I have
shut down my system maybe 5 or 6 times, and rebooted maybe a dozen times or
so - usually after hardware/software changes.

There's also differences in PCs. They're not all the same.

In the older days computers were best to leave on - the thermal
expansion/contraction of power on/power off would eventually stress the
solder connections which would break. I used to see cracked connections in
power supplies all the time. Today's systems are far more reliable, both in
hardware and software.

Leaving the system on will not hurt anything (as long as you have protected
yourself against various internet-side attacks with the proper firewalls and
such). Turning the system on and off won't hurt anything, but you may have
to wait a few dozen seconds before you can play Quake.
